Re: [Jmol-users] need 2-propenyl sulfenic acid molecular model

Bob,

You may have told me before, but I forget. How do you signal JavaScript 
that the Jmol applet is loaded? I've tried putting a Jmol javascript 
command into the Jmol load script, but MSIE seems to ignore this.

AJAX would be nice, but I can't get past the cross domain security issue 
with the unsigned applet. The signed applet scares many users, so I'm 
using my server to get past this issue. Unfortunately, this means each 
SMILES to mofile is a new load on my page.

Getting the returned molfile into into a JavaSript variable is a bit 
convoluted with ASP.NET, but it's doable. Normally this is not a 
problem, but the line feeds create a problem in the case of the molfile. 
I have to go to a hidden field and then transfer to a JavaScript variable.

Anyway, with the above stage set, I just need to be able to hold the 
JavaScript load to Jmol off until the applet is loaded.
